Episode 110: Easy and Elegant Seafood
Jacques begins the step-by-step recipe with the supreme crustacean, Lobster in Artichoke Hearts. This sets the tone for a show filled with wonderful gifts from the sea. He explains that shrimp is now one of the most consumed seafood’s in the country and Shrimp Pané on Watercress is a recipe to make them shine. Jacques used to make Escoffier Quenelles when working with Pierre Franey at the Le Pavillon in New York and now makes them for us using a food processor to make light work of the task. Finally, he waxes poetic on the virtues of one of the ugliest fishes in the sea and makes Monkfish Roulade stuffed full of broccoli rabe.

great episode for the seafood lover.. I am drooling!
Where can I purchase the cups that Jaque pepin used in his show “209” cocoette wi creamed mushrooms, where can I find theses? thank you Liliana
Those are pots de creme cups. Do a quick web search for that term and you’ll find them.
In episode 110, the Lobster with Artichokes looks elegant. The presentation plates added greatly to the overall look. Can you please share the plate design and manufacturer? Thank you.

can I make the poached quenelles and refrigerate and then pour hot sauce and bake tomorrow?
The quenelles may be cooked in advance, but should be reheated in simmering fish stock at the last minute then pour over the hot sauce and bake
